My new "job"

I can hardly call it a job.....
So, my neighbour Jean across the road has a new job, and she has to leave at 7.30. My job is to babysit 2 of her 3 kids from 7.30 and make sure they make it off to school on time. Sounds easy right? Well her daughter Jena, 12 (almost 13), is a real dawdler! I have yet to get her out of the door at the allotted 7.50am. Jake (10) however is dressed and ready to go at least 10 minutes before its time for him to leave at 8.50.
So, 2 or 3 mornings a week, i trundle in the snow and cold a whole 50 feet across the street to sit with Jena and Jake while they busy themselves with breakfast, and then i trundle home, bath Harrison and put him down for his nap.
It pays for a night out right!
